Sittin @ South Lake Tahoe...

Eatin lunch at a Carrows watchin the snow melting.
Getting ready for a 12:30 meeting at the Embassy Suite...(sighs)
I guess I 'll have to check you guys out tomorrow at the office...
Nothin better for the soul than a roadtrip...

 

Oh man...can you stop at the Snowflake for some onion rings for me? And maybe run up to the Waterwheel for some sushi?

And if you run into my best friend, tell her hello for me, won't you? She lives just behind the Triangle.

 

It's tomorrow! Got an update for us? What is the temperature there? Must be warm enough if your snow is melting.

 

Well temp here in the (Sacto) valley is about 56 degrees, and its drizzling...
To top it all off I'm stuck in the office...

Oh well, nuther road trip to Folsom comin up soon so all's not lost...

Took some kooky shots of part of the trip up to Tahoe, mountains, snow and stuff... lemme know if'n ya'll wanna see...

 

Pictures???? Me see ... me see. Yes please, I would love to see your pictures.

 

Ok, here the obligatory windshield shot...

 

Another shot...

 

*sigh* I can't wait to get back. Hopefully this fall (I've not been there for almost four years now).

 

Was about the same time frame for me as well, I'm usually a little further Northeast in Sierra City (less people) , although I had forgotten there's also a lot to see and do in Tahoe South...

 

Hey! I know that crazy bastard. He using to sling bass in a band with me many centuries ago.

 

Nice pics. Got any more? Maybe I should look at a vacation there. Looks dang fine. Heck we have lots of trees and stuff here but ... that place looks much nicer.

 

Nice pics M.A. Have any of the shoreline of the lake? Does it have leaches in it?

I would only venture there in the summer as I hate the cold. What is the population of the area and is there cabins to rent around it?

Oh ya ... what about snakes? I hate snakes!!!!

 

There are no leeches in the lake...and only the bravehearted actually swim in it, even in August. It's way deep, and way cold.

Snakes? Meh...no more than anywhere else. You do want to watch out for the coyotes, though.

There are cabins, houses, hotels, motels, etc. coming out the yin-yang for rent.

The only digital pictures I have are from the first trip I took, back in May of 2000. I've not managed to scan the rest of them yet. But you're welcome to look if you want.

Oh yeah...and as for only wanting to go there when it's warm...it's at 6300 feet. They've had snow in every month of the year in recent memory. But it's really very nice in the summer, even if you do need to wear a coat at night if you're going out.

South Tahoe information (be aware that there are literally dozens of cities around the lake, this is only one of them...albeit the largest):

Nice pics Sgt. Tibbs. This summer I am heading east but maybe next summer I should look at a trip out west. I do have relatives in California somewhere. Maybe I can look them up and arrange to meet them while I am there.

Now the snake thing .... any poisonous ones?

 

Real Soon I'll be slingin' once again...

We're meeting this Saturday to pound out the details.
Perhaps we'll even be part of the local scene...?

I know fer' sure your talent is not unforgotten, and perhaps the day will come when we could introduce you as guest guitarist????

Time will tell...

 

There always Rattlesnakes to content with, however respect tham, and they will do the same by you....

 

Now you owe California tax on that trip.

 

Kinda like going to four corners you can run thru Utah, Colorado, Arizona, and New Mexico in about the same time...

There is a pretty big bronze thingy on the ground there...

 

That was our favourite thing when my friends first moved to Tahoe...you could close the bar in California, then walk next door and keep drinking in Nevada.
